Negative Tú CommandsTo form negative tú commands
with regular verbs, we drop the o of the present-tense yo form and add the following endings:
Negative Tú Commands
HABLARhablo habl es
No hables ahora
Negative Tú Commands
COMERcomo com as
No comas eso.
Negative Tú Commands
ABRIRabro abr as

Negative Tú CommandsThe same rule applies to verbs
whose present tense yo form ends in –go, -zco, -yo, and –jo.
Negative Tú CommandsSALIRNo salgas si estás enferma.
Negative Tú CommandsOFRECERNo les ofrezcas comida basura
a tus amigos.
Negative Tú CommandsESCOGERNo escojas comida con mucha
grasa.
Negative Tú CommandsNotice that -ar verbs take the
ending -es and that -er verbs take the ending -as.
In stem-changing verbs the stem change remains.
Negative Tú CommandsNo enciendas el horno.No añadas demasiado sal.No pongas los camarones en
la sartén todavía.
